New Delhi: The Congress’ media department national coordinator Radhika Khera resigned from the party’s primary membership on Sunday, days after her altercation with another leader at the party’s Chhattisgarh state unit office.
In her resignation letter to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Khera also claimed that she was facing opposition in the party for her visit to the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
“It is an established truth since ancient times that those who support religion have been opposed. Examples of this range from Hiranyakashipu to Ravana and Kansa. At present, some people are opposing those who take the name of Lord Shri Ram,” Khera said in her letter.
“Shri Ayodhya Dham, the birthplace of Ram Lalla, is a very sacred place for all of us and I could not stop myself from going there. But I had never thought in my life that I would have to face so much opposition for visiting there.”
“I have given more than 22 years of my life to this party and worked with full honesty from NSUI to the Congress’s media department. Despite that, I had to face such intense opposition because I am supporting Ram in Ayodhya,” she said.
Earlier this week, a video went viral in which AICC spokesperson Radhika Khera purportedly said she was resigning due to “insult”. Some party leaders said the outburst was the fallout of an argument between her and a senior office-bearer.
